EN 61180-1:1994 - High-voltage test techniques for low-voltage
Voltmeters, dividers, and digital recorders must be calibrated to ensure measurement uncertainty remains within the narrow limits specified by the standard. This guarantees reproducibility across different testing facilities globally. Relationship with IEC 60060

This 98-page document provides a complete system-level view, including:
Voltage breakdown levels vary based on air temperature, pressure, and humidity. The standard provides mathematical formulas to correct test voltages to standard atmospheric conditions (101.3 kPa, 20°C, and 11 g/m³ absolute humidity).
